Famous quotes containing the word strange:
“We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.”
—Mary Mapes Dodge (18311905)
“My love is of a birth as rare
As tis for object strange and high:
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.”

“A blind man. I can stare at him
ashamed, shameless. Or does he know it?
No, he is in a great solitude.
O, strange joy,
to gaze my fill at a strangers face.
No, my thirst is greater than before.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
